It looks like Bernie will win NV and two new SC polls out today show him even with Biden in one poll and only two points down in the other. If Bernie wins both NV and SC, will it be too late to stop him from winning the Democratic nomination?

No. There are only 155 delegates awarded in the first four contests, out of about 4000 in total. This is a marathon, and it doesn't really even get started until March 3.

If Bernie wins SC then it’s over. Biden’s appalling performances in Iowa and NH have demolished his electability image and only his firewall in the black community gives him any outstanding hope. If that is shown to be a mirage then it’s done. Liz Warren needed to be where Bernie is now to have a chance, Buttigieg and Bloomberg don’t have a chance with black voters who form a large part of the base, and Klobuchar is just not well known enough or popular enough for this. Bernie has a huge lead in CA, and unless his campaign implodes spectacularly before Super Tuesday he is going to be the nominee.

No.

It would be between Sanders and Bloomberg.

Trump was mistaken when he thought Joe Biden was his most dangerous political adversary - anyone who can survive 12 years as the mayor of New York, knows how to exploit this President's character flaws and possesses the financial resources to savage "The Donald" mercilessly in the media 24/7 for the next 9 months is a serious contender!

Michael Bloomberg joined the race after Donald Trump was impeached.

At the time, everyone thought Joe Biden was the favorite. However, I was right all along that because the Democratic nomination needs to be completed before anyone is Trump's rival, he had no reason to target a specific candidate.

Absolutely yes, the DNC does not want him. They can steal it from him like they did the last time.

After last nights debate, probably not.

Keep in mind that what you've said there is only a functional myth. That is to say that that there is no reason to think that Trump ever saw Biden as his chief adversary. What's more, you've just highlighted why that notion is not persuasive.

What you are referring to is nothing but the story that Schiff, the Clinton campaign, the Deep State, etc. etc. concocted in order to have some reason to justify impeaching the President.

It's been news for a while now, but Trump was acquitted.

That does not mean he won anything last night. We are only talking about the Denocratic nomination here - as clearly indicated by hte thread title.
